<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This highly relatable collection gets to the heart of parenting: all those unexpected fails, awkward conversations, and well-intentioned little white lies. Whether you're a first-time parent unaware of what you've gotten yourself into yet, or a father of five, clinging to your last ounce of sanity, you'll find relief in knowing that at end of the day, we're all not wearing any pants.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Father-ish: <i>adjective</i>. When a man is trying his best. </b> <p/>Clint Edwards equates fatherhood to the time he did an important live TV interview from home: To the viewers, he looked put-together in a nice button-up shirt . . . but below the camera he wasn't wearing any pants. And it may have looked like he was in a nice office, but he was in fact hidden in his bedroom closet because his whole house was too messy to show. <p/>This highly relatable collection gets to the heart of parenting: all those unexpected fails, awkward conversations, and well-intentioned little white lies. Clint chronicles all these things and more with stories like <i>"The Time My Son Realized I Was Santa,"</i> <i>"I've Never Been to Hell, but I Have Been to a Little Girl's Birthday Party,"</i> and <i>"How to Get the Sex Talk Very, Very Wrong."</i> And with each story you'll see over and over again that there really aren't any rules when it comes to parenting, and all you can do is try your best. <p/>Whether you're a first-time parent unaware of what you've gotten yourself into yet, or a father of five, clinging to your last ounce of sanity, you'll find relief in knowing that at end of the day, we're all not wearing any pants.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Have the tissues handy because the tears of laughter won't stop.
